I've only let my wife try on my headphones (I'm kind of a germaphobe) and while she was skeptical at first, her wide eyes told it all.  I suggested we both watch a movie once I get my another decent pair and she's all about it

I see that you have the HD 558 and you're planning on buying the HD 600. Are you both going to watch a movie in open headphones at the same time?

I believe that advertising slogan is for the Turbine series, not Beats by Dre. Did make me LOL though 

 Another quote :"The thrill of hearing tiny details you've never heard before. In songs you thought you knew inside out. With the sleek and rugged Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ over-ear headphones engineered by Monster, thrills rule."

It's for Beats by Dre.. Says it in the inside of the box.

When I got my DT880 Pro 250 from ups, my mom went"she doesn't understand why I just use any headphone, and said only DJs should be worrying about sound" I went >_>

I think she might have meant sound engineers.

Hey all! *
The first & foremost reaction I get to my cans is "Why'd you get openbacks?" or "Hey, that's a lot of money..." because they don't understand our hobby. For me it's the quest for tolerable accuracy in a hifi system as a network. i.e, synergy's huge here.
Sometimes I feel like i'm the only one who isn't a 'sub-100Hz - head' :thmbsdn:
 
 
*having been away from Head-fi for quite some time, just wanted to say how fitting this thread is. So much is it in the spirit of head-fi that it single handedly made my chime in tonight
:smoke: x2

What kind of head are you ? Check me sig

Oh , NEUTRAL! for sure even though some of my gear (and recordings) have peaky, shrill response.

We'll probably switch off between the open and closed ones.  I'd like to work my way up to higher end headphones while matching them with similar amps or sources.  I think I'm in it for the long haul and find myself reading more and more about them.  I guess I want to slowly train my ears and savor the refinement while building a collection of great equipment.

It is becoming pretty difficult to find people in Jcmbruce's category. Everyone wants to buy the flavor of the month (me included) rather than staying with what they bought and enjoying it fully and then moving up. I think all hobbies of late have become more of "I should own the best there is in the price range" rather than experiencing what they have and then possibly upgrading (after specifically saving up). Good luck to you Bruce...

Former fire fighter joins the music college. A teacher asks him- what is the difference between a violin and a double bass? Firefighter- the double bass burns longer.
